Vermeer recall: Trailer hitches
What is wrong
Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain 2022 BC1800XL trailers. The improper length mounting bolts were installed on the trailer hitches, resulting in inadequate thread engagement of the pintle hitch mounting bolts.
What could happen
Inadequate thread engagement may result in bolt failure, possibly causing hitch separation and a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the tongue and pintle bolts of proper length, at no charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 25, 2022. Owners may contact Vermeer's customer service at 1-800-829-0051 ext. 7060. Vermeer's number for this recall is IK4266.
